A cautionary tale about asking chat GPT for medical advice and a chance to represent your region in the CAP, an interview with the Speaker of the House of Delegates, these stories and more coming up. This is Path News Network Daily Edition from the College of American Pathologists. I'm Nancy Johnson. It's Wednesday, November 5th. Have a medical problem? Patients are asking ChatGPT about it. Well, not so fast. Big Tech is out with new rules barring ChatGPT from offering specific medical, legal, or financial guidance. I interviewed the CAP's Dr. Andrew Evans, who sits on the AI committee. As an example, he says a friend became alarmed after asking ChatGPT to interpret a portion of her melanoma pathology report. The AI model incorrectly told her she would need more surgery, even though her cancer had already been fully removed. Dr. Evans warns that patients should always discuss pathology results with a treating clinician, not an online chatbot. He does say AI can help patients prepare questions for their doctors. Three trailblazing women pathologists from early 20th century Switzerland helped shape Modern Thyroid Pathology. A new article in the CAP's Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is shining light on the groundbreaking contributions of Rahel Zipkin, Sophia Getzowa, and Elisabeth Sanderson-Damberg. At a time when women were a small minority in medicine, they were all protégés of Bern pathologist Theodore Langans. The trio made discoveries that still hold true today. Their work identified key thyroid structures and conditions that remain vital to diagnosis. One week from today, the CAP celebrates its first ever Member Appreciation Day, November 12th, to honor members' vital contributions to patient care. It's also International Pathology Day. Dr. Guillermo Martinez-Torres chairs the Council on Membership and Professional Development, and he says the celebration will recognize every stage of a pathologist's career, from training to retirement. Members can also enjoy perks like 10% off CAP merch and new tools like AI Studio and CAP on Demand. Finally, from Canada to Guam, Alaska to Florida, the House of Delegates is the voice of CAP membership. Self-nominations have just opened for this elected body of 600 seats and 60 delegations. Elizabeth McMahon spoke with House Speaker Dr. Sang Wu to find out more about nominations and why delegates are the lifeblood of the CAP.
- Elizabeth McMahon
Thanks so much for joining me, Dr. Wu. Could you start by describing the role delegates play at the CAP?
- Dr. Sang Wu
Today, the House delegates is the voice of the membership. and the The House is comprised of all delegates who are essentially leaders within their state. And each state and province will also elect a delegation chair who will be the leader of the delegates.
- Elizabeth McMahon
What are some of the opportunities delegates have throughout the year to make a difference for members?
- Dr. Sang Wu
As a leader from representing your state and representing your respective provinces, we are expected to attend. our two meetings. We have a spring meeting right now in the past recent years have been in conjunction with the pathologist leadership summit in Washington DC and that our spring meeting has been very effective and it's an opportunity for real advocacy when our Delegates are in DC and when Congress is in session and we get to experience Hill Day, the traditional Hill Day where we visit our congressional offices and really make an impact. And also we have a fall meeting in conjunction with the CAP's annual meeting. In 2026, it'll be in Las Vegas and we'll have an exciting opportunity to get together with all pathologists and both for... networking, for sharing ideas, and also for education, for CME credits. And we have a vast array of excellent presentations and educational opportunities. So, yeah, I think attending those two meetings are a requirement for delegates. And in between meetings, we also have opportunities to Kind of be the listening ear on what rises to the top of what's important. Oftentimes, if you hear from your colleagues, hey, you know, we're facing X, Y, and Z in our practice. What can the CAP do for us? And it's those type of kind of important and relevant issues that the delegates can kind of transmit and share up to the CAP.
- Elizabeth McMahon
Who should consider running for the House of Delegates? Do you need a lot of experience in your field first?
- Dr. Sang Wu
Let me just speak directly to the FCAPs. If you're sitting, if you're in practice and you're a CAP member and you're thinking to yourself, you know, how can I get more involved? I love my organization. And if you're at a stage in your career where you're thinking, I want to be more involved with the CAP, I tell you, the HOD and this upcoming. self-nomination process is your ticket.
- Nancy Johnson
That's all for today. Be sure to check the show notes for more information on today's stories. Watch your email inbox for more news like this in the CAP's advocacy newsletter every Tuesday and our weekly edition newsletter on Thursdays. We're back tomorrow at 5 a.m. Eastern for another episode of The Daily Edition. I'm Nancy Johnson. Have a great day.
